My initial thought is a 1031 to some properties in Wausau, where I’m already getting a nice return on a duplex I bought last year.What about using that money as my starting seed money for unlimited BRRRs?

Trading a lot of time to have your money back, and if your seed fund allows you to do one BRRR a year, sure you're never going to have relinquished your seed fund, but you're also only going to have a measly couple bucks of cash flow generated per year (after true expenses with reserves included).

Rake/shovel/grass seed/grass mat/ water hose  $150f. 

I recently joined my local REIA and am currently trying to soak up all the information I can.

I'm a newbie soaking up every thing I can. 

If you dont have the pile of cash to use as seed money it will be slower still. 

We just feel like if we are going to continue investing, we need that seed money that his good job gives us.

I know of no one who can or will give you seed money unless they are related. 

@Patrick Menefee Hey there, I’ve been diving into the CLT forums and soaking up all the great advice and pointers.

Nearly closing the first rental property and simply soaking up all the advice we can get, learning learning and more learning.
